Veteran's Exemption Beginning with Tax Year 2022, Oakland County Equalization (OCED) completed a procedural change for the Disabled Veteran’s Exemption of property taxes under MCL 211.7b. OCED will begin presenting all Disabled Veteran’s Exemptions to the Board of Review (BOR) for approval. The Veterans Team will review each application to ensure they have supplied all the correct documents and meet the requirements for the exemption. The Board will execute the approval or denial of the exemption based on the recommendation that eligibility is met or not met. It is important to note that the Board does not determine who is eligible; the level of disability is established by the Department of Veterans Affairs.Each applicant will be asked to file annually after January 1st but prior to March 1st for review and preparation for the March Board of Review (to eliminate any need to correct the tax bill issued later in the year).
